James Frey & Josh Kilmer-Purcell

JAMES FREY & JOSH KILMER-PURCELL Monday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Town Hall Seattle (Great Hall)
A good and lively evening is in-store up at Town Hall this evening as celebrated author James Frey visits with a much-anticipated first novel, and is joined in doing so, by humorous chronicler Josh Kilmer-Purcell. Bright Shiny Morning (HarperCollins) is the novel James Frey has written, a kaleidoscopic portrait of Los Angeles, richly peopled and variously storied, but with the city itself, ultimately, as the central character. Known for his previous book, I Am Not Myself These Days, Josh Kilmer-Purcell is here with Candy Everybody Wants (HarperCollins). Josh Kilmer-Purcell is funny, funny, funny, one of the funniest young writers in America. In Candy Everybody Wants, he trains his insightfully sardonic eye on the world of 80s pop culture, showing the roots that made us a nation of Britneys, American Idols, and Obamaniacs. James Frey.
